I value this book for the reasons I've mentioned in other mathematical treatises. Paul R. Halmos explains the definitions he uses, the background required to understand the material, and the symbols he uses. Due to my lack of experience in the field of Hilbert Spaces, I appreciated all the effort put in.

I have no qualms with the book, but it is slightly too advanced for me. I enjoyed the book regardless. Thanks for reading my review, and see you next time.

It has been several years since I've read this book, but I have occasionally returned to it for reference. It is eminently readable, even for someone lacking basically any subject-area knowledge. However, it suffers for the same reason, in that it does not get to any majorly interesting results. It serves exactly as the title says, and no more.
